shopping haul!

stores visited: ulta, walmart, cvs. until saturday, ulta has a 20% off coupon for non-prestige cosmetics and skincare, so i got several bottles of nail polish and makeup remover towelettes. i also visited walmart and cvs in search of a few more revlon lip butters, unsuccessfully (not the shades i wanted). ~L-c ^.~

 

asphalt, bronze, gold, taupe

• Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadow pots. as you can probably tell, taupe is matte and the other three are shimmery. asphalt doesn't actually look blue when swatched--probably my laptop cover's fault, it's actually a dark silver. these are very creamy, took a little bit for to get it on dark enough with my finger and they fought with me when i used a makeup remover towelette.
• Falsies Volum' Express Black Drama mascara: i haven't tried it yet, i only bought it because, through the cvs reward card/program, you get "5 bucks" for spending $15 on Maybelline eye and lip products this week, aka a coupon worth $5 to use later. and 2 eyeshadow pots were $13.98. >.> needless to say, i wound up spending more than i wanted to between the three items, but i got 2 "5 bucks" coupons with magic! yay~!

took a picture of my nails if you saw them in the photos above and were wondering what i used. i used Seche Rebuild as the base (a strengthener), 2 coats OPI Miss Universe collection: Swimsuit...Nailed It!, 1 coat Sephora by OPI blasted opalescent glitter, 1 coat Seche Vite.

i have not swatched these colors yet..

• Pure Ice: Oh Baby! i'm definitely going to try this layered over something like i did with heart breaker.
